AI, or artificial intelligence, is the simulation of human
intelligence processes by machines. It can include learning,
reasoning, problem-solving, understanding language, and even
recognizing emotions. Think of AI as a super helpful assistant
that can learn and adapt over time to get better at whatever it's
doing. From recommending your next movie to self-driving
cars, AI is revolutionizing so many aspects of our daily lives.*
